New York City voters said 68 - 28 percent that charging tolls on East River and Harlem River
bridges is a bad idea, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released November 25.

Voters have opposed this idea by margins of 78 - 17 percent to 65 - 31 percent in four
surveys by the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University since March 28, 2002.

In this latest survey, voters in each borough said tolls are a bad idea:

55 - 38 percent in Manhattan;

75 - 21 percent in Brooklyn;

73 - 25 percent in Queens;

71 - 28 percent in The Bronx;

58 - 38 percent in Staten Island.

From November 18 - 23, Quinnipiac University surveyed 1,594 New York City registered
voters, with a margin of error of +/- 2.5 percentage points.

The Quinnipiac University Poll, directed by Douglas Schwartz, Ph.D., conducts public
opinion surveys in New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Florida, Ohio and
nationwide as a public service and for research.
